There are a lot of misconceptions about adhesives in the stone and countertop fabrication industry. In this article, we clear the air by breaking down the different adhesive types in stone fabrication Countertop and stone fabricators use adhesives for a variety of applications. We get a lot of questions from fabricators about the stone adhesive Read more…
Rubber-to-metal engineering has enabled key technologies in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications. However, rubber-to-metal bonding can prove to be a challenging and daunting task – how can a material so flexible be bonded to something so rigid with no shortcomings? In the past, efforts such as brass plating and polyisocyanates have been attempted, but to Read more…
In a recent ruling passed down by Flemish environmental, health and safety agencies, 3M was forced to shut down their Brussels manufacturing location indefinitely. The Flemish Environmental Inspectorate of the Department of Environment found significantly elevated PFAS levels in more than half of the approximately 800 residents it tested who live within three kilometers Read more…
Bonding Polyethylene with Industrial Adhesive Polyethylene adhesive has been hard to come by until recently. Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic. It is often abbreviated to LDPE (low density polyethylene) or HDPE (high density polyethylene). Bonding polyethylene is considered very difficult and as a result it is often used as packaging for adhesive materials – as Read more…
Undermount sink adhesive products are everywhere now, and they all claim you can hang a sink in seconds without any mechanical anchor. Some of them work. The question is not whether adhesive can hold a sink, it is which method fits the job in front of you. Mounting a sink without hardware saves real time, Read more…
